HOWARD ASKS REHEARING
State Auditor Files Motion in State
Supreme Court,
DOYLE WOULD MAKE STATE PAY
land Coniinlsloncr Ileckmau Inves
tigating; Purchase of Fifty-Six
Thousand Miles of Trani-porlntlan.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, NcL Aug. 9.-(Speclal
Telegram.) Stato Auditor W. B. How
ard tiled In the supreme court this after
noon an application fur a rehearing be
fore the supreme court ot the case In
which he was deprived of tho Insurance
department by a peremptory order of the
court. Mr. Howard cctu out In his ap
plication that no notice was given him
of the application for a writ, that ho was
deprived of a chance to be heard In tho
matter and that he was deprived of hlfc
rights as an officer of the stato and
against the constitution of the state,
which gives every man a chance for a
defense.
Attorneys Stout, Rose and Wells of
Omaha and W.,11.. Comstock ot .Lincoln
appear as attorneys for Jlr. Howard.
There was presented at tho state
treasurer's office this afternoon a war
rant for $300 as payment to Attorney T.
J. Doj'Io for services rendered while as-
nlstlng Attorney Genornl Martin, Deputy
Ayers and Assistant Attorney General
Kdgorton In tho mandanias case against
Auditor Howard, to compel him to turn
over the insurance department of tho
state to L. G. Brian and the Insurance
board.
It was understood at tho time that Mr,
Doyle appeared In the case as the friend
wanted another he would go to some
other member. In other cases he would
wait until the official was out and then
get the deputy to sign the order.
"When tho attention of Mr. Miller was
called to the matter," said Land Com
missioner Beckman, "ho told me that
sooner than havo any newspaper pub
licity over 11 he would pay for tho books
himself. He later went to tho office of
tho auditor and withdrew vouchers, for
the two books which had been filed by
Mr. McGmnlc."
The members of the board are loth to
talk very much abuut the matter until
they have had a chance to confer with
Mr. Miller, but they aro of the opinion
that 66,000 mllC3 of travel on tho railroads
ot Nebraska In visiting state Institutions
by one man In something over two years
la going some, and they desire an explanation.
PUBLIC DRINKING PLACE
INSTALLED IN STATE HOUSE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 9.'-(Speclal.) - Con
servation has become a much-talked-'of
matter around the state house the last
two days. This time It has been Drought
about by the Board of Public Lands and
Funds Installing a freo sanitary drinking
fountain on the first floor of the atutu
house for the purpose of the conservation
of Ice,
Heretofore there has been no public
place to drink In tho state house and
each office has had a private drinking
tank. This has cost the stato consider
able for Ice about J3 a day. Since tho
public drinking cup agitation caused the
passage of a law prohibiting the public
cup, the board conceived the Idea that If
a fountain was placed In tho center of
the first floor of tho stato house, con
nected In such a way that tho water
would flow through colla of Ico In nn? big
tank In tho basement, tho employes could
fake a walk down to the center of tho
building and drink from the samo foun-
of Mr. Brian, who was attempting to gain i ta,n
control ot tho office, but according to
Treasurer George It seems that tho state
will havo to Btnnd for the $300 fee to
Doyle, notwithstanding It had three able
bodied attorneys in tho attorney general's
office to look after the legal welfare of
the state.
Architect UcSluch Mileage.
Vouchers in tho auditor's office show
that Burd F. Miller, stato architect, has
bought during' the two years or more ho,
has been stato architect twenty-eight in
terchangeable mileage books of 2,000
miles each. Thin would mean that books
to tho extent of 56,000 miles have been
upcurtd by Mr. Miller during hla term
of office. This is sufficient to take a
trip around the world twice and a few.
side trips for good measure
The books were bought of tho North
western railroad and the vouchers were
signed by Robert McGlnnls ot that com
pany. Five of theso books were purchased in
July, Just before the board of control
took charge of the public institutions ot
the state and before a change was made
in which Mr. Miller was given a per
centage on contracts with a provision
that he should pay his own expenses,
The vouchers bear the following dates;
July 7, two books ot 2,000 miles each;
July 9, two books of 2,000 miles each;
July 26, one book ot 1,(0) miles.
Itovr Books Were Nought
Vouchers for two books were not
properly filled out, and in looking up the
matter, Land Commissioner Beckman
discovered that a large number of books
had been purchased, seemingly more than
were needed. He went Into tho matter
more thoroughly and discovered the
above facts, with the manner in which
the books were purchased.
According to Mr. Beckman, when Mr.
Miller wanted a mileage book he would
go to a member of tho board with an
order on the railway company and have
it signed by that member. When ho
The fountain has been installed and the
lco taken from the offices and now tnern
is grief among tho officials. Somi ot
them say that tho employes lose moro
time going for a drink than the lae In
the office tank would cost. Others com
plain that tho employes, go down to tho
fountain and congregate around waiting
for their turn to come, get a dri'iic and
get to gossiping and thus lost time.
